This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Youknahmsayin' B, I mean
Motherfuckers be talkin', you know what I mean?
Talkin' plenty shit
YouknowhatI'msayin? Just shit talkin'
And don't know a motherfuckin' thing
But, we gon', we gon' gather all these niggas from Chicago
Hehe, Da Brat
Knahmean?
That's right, all them niggas from Jersey
Yeah yeah yeah, and we just gon' do it
Yaknahmsayin?
Ey yo, put your hands up, way in the sky
Light up your lighters, flame on the fire (yeah!)
Ey yo, put your hands up, way in the sky
Light up your lighters, flame on the fire
Ey yo I been on many stages of all sorts
Banged in many hoopties on blocks of all sorts
Ran to foreign ports, sippin' on Port
Thinkin' rap thoughts while I'm reppin' for Newark, whoa!
Down-fall never, I rhyme too clever
Storm like the weathers, hip-hop for the pleasure
Feel the texture, how does DoItAll lecture
You and whoever, the more, the better
L-O-R-D, back from N-W-K
The U-N-D-A make me bounce this way
Why you say here me from Chi to NJ
I swear one day it's gon' all come your way, one day
One day, that's when it's gon' come
For all you muh'fuckers, tell me where you gon' run to
One day, that's when it's gon' come
For all you muh'fuckers, tell me where you gon' run to
One day, that's when it's gon' come
For all you muh'fuckers, tell me where you gon' run to
One day, that's when it's gon' come
For all you muh'fuckers, tell me where you gon' run to
Check it
Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust
Blackin' out on anybody think they fuckin' with us
We just, live the life of Billboards and mic cords
Straight buyin' shit you can't afford (hah) so put it down
And stop touchin' it, you wanna step to us, see you rushin' it
Watch your head, I'll be bustin' it, what's this?
Who you think you talkin' to you think we slippin'?
Yo Brat, stick the clip in, these niggas is trippin'
Bustin' shots like pimpin' (pimpin') hit you in your hip and (hip and)
Take your Bills like Clinton (Clinton) nigga I ain't bullshittin'
You must be lost thinkin' Jersey niggas is soft
I should whip out on your niggas make you take your rings off
Now take your fuckin' jeans off, for thinkin' that we soft
Before I squeeze off, make you nigga ease off
'Cause me gettin' burnt or hurt, won't be tolerate
Funk Bizzy put a foot to your ass, you're constipated what?
One day, that's when it's gon' come
For all you muh'fuckers, tell me where you gon' run to
Dearly beloved, we gathered here today to bust
Me and the Lords been in the lab, guaranteed to fuck it up what?
If you got a problem with Jersey or Chicago
The revolver'll go POP and the weaves'll drop!
Rhyme-diesel heffer in it, don't stop, the glock cocked
Ready to penetrate with every one of my sixteen shots!
Don't be deceived by the pigtails, the butter colored ma
Smothered in cheese, the dopest bitch you've heard thus far
When in need, of an incredible high, you can flow
With the L-O-T-U-G and I, as we get lifted
Til we die, all this stuff is weight
Make the money to buy the bank and the Benz and the vacation
(Shit) Take time to kick it with niggas in Jersey
You weren't worthy and your day is comin'
Motherfucker, you better keep runnin' (ha ha)
And that's all fact and no lie, one day got your name on it
Be ready to die (bitch, motherfucker!)
One day, that's when it's gon' come
For all you muh'fuckers, tell me where you gon' run to
One day, that's when it's gon' come
For all you muh'fuckers, tell me where you gon' run to
Motherfuckers be talkin', you know what I mean?
Talkin' plenty shit
YouknowhatI'msayin? Just shit talkin'

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
